I have asked you several times questions that have this question as a root purpose: What possible good can come from electing Barack Obama to the presidency?

Can't you see that all the examples you have given over quite a few posts where conservatives stayed home or voted for a third party candidate have had disastrous results?

In 1992, the combination of conservative ire at Bush41 and the candidacy of Perot elected Clinton. Here I plead guilty to the things you state in this entry: I was a Democrat, won over by Reagan, and voted for Clinton in response to Bush41's "no new taxes" pledge breaking and the 1989 anti-gun package.

How did that work out again? Oh, yeah... Narrowly averted tax disaster in the form of Hillary Healthcare a new, more odious Clinton anti-gun package in 1994.

Having learned my lesson, I voted for Bob Dole in 1996, left the Democrat party in 97-98, and joined the GOP in 1999.

In 2006 I stayed home with a LOT of other conservatives. What did that get us? SanFranNan Pelosi running the House and Harry Reid running the Senate. As we go to the polls two years later, the GOP has been seriously damaged not only by poor decisions, but by our abandoning of the GOP, good parts as well as bad.

It seem to me, as a fellow former Democrat who is now a conservative Republican, that your "medicine" is worse than the disease.

And no, you don't get the "told ya" position. That is reserved for those who have a legitimate solution and who have clearly presented it. In fact, in response to your entry here and others of the same tone, it is the position of those who continue to pull the GOP lever that can say to you, and to me in 1992 and 2006, "Told ya!"
